1 January 2009 - Murphy’s
A Murphy’s Stout glass sits on a wall on the island of Cape Clear. That’s not Murphy’s in it obviously. That’d be a strange looking stout!
Happy new year everyone!
16 December 2008 - Construction in Chicago
Construction work on the Trump Tower in 2005.
29 September 2008 - San Francisco 4884m
San Francisco is 4884nm (nautical miles?) from Cape Clear in Co Cork. Have you noticed the misspelling yet? I never did until a few minutes ago!
27 September 2008 - No Through Road
Construction work on the building site between Emmett Place and Patrick Street in Cork continues at a pace. Despite the slow down in the economy high rise cranes can still be seen on the city skyline and are more prominent than the recently opened Elysian.
23 August 2008 - The basement of Trump Tower
In 2001 Donald Trump announced he’d build the tallest building in the world in Chicago, “Trump International Hotel and Tower”. After the attacks on the WTC in September that year the plans were changed however, but it’s still an awfully high building. Check out the Wikipedia page for further details.
This is the building site of the “Trump Tower” as it’s known locally. I shot this in 2005, and they’ve made quite a bit of progress since then as you can imagine, but this is a piece of history, and a patch of bare ground that won’t see daylight again for many many years.
16 November 2007 - Towering over the Elysian building site
It’s amazing how much this building site has changed in the last few years. This was taken last May. Now if you took this picture much of the sky would be blocked out by the 3 or 4 storey building work on this side of the site.
20 September 2007 - The Elysian Building Site
A look through the closed gate at the construction site of the new Elysian tower block in Cork.
It’s a far cry from what the building site looked like in 2005!
8 October 2005 - Eglinton Street Highrise Site
Site of the new highrise block to be built in Cork.
